Look, I love Sara Palin alot.
But she is not electable. Gov Perry can win. Gov Palin has just been deamonized by the media and is best not running, especially now that is’t too late. Same with Michelle Backman. Great leaders, but not electable.
I agree, she is not electable. She has a small, devout following but that is it. The dems will run one ad against her, it will show the clock at 3am, the phone will be ringing and the voice over will say, “Pres. Palin can’t answer, she quit.” Done, end of the race. Excuses as why she quit don’t matter, the bottom line, she didn’t finish her term, walked out on the citizens of Alaska.
It’s not like Sarah Palin was above trading donations for positions in state government.

If you're going to withdraw every candidate that gets demonized, then the Democrats will choose the GOP candidate. Perry has not been demonized [outside of Texas], and the press and Dems will wait until everyone else drops out, and THEN HE will be demonized..
Recall that in the Spring prior to the 2008 election, a poll showed that Sarah's approval was at 89% in Alaska and that a majority of Democrats approved of her work. Then she got the VP nomination and the Democrat leaders pulled out all the stops to re-create her as a she-devil. They will do the same with Perry.

Hint: The presidential election is in November 2012 and NOT November 2011.
So, you're willing to allow the media to win? Stop yakking and get out and do something about it.
Like you think the media wont do the same to Perry ( or anyone else) that they did to palin? Here’s where I stand: unless the dems find another cadidate, the winner of the gop primary is the next president.
“Gov Palin has just been deamonized by the media and is best not running, especially now that is’t too late.”
So, you suggest the MSM pick our candidates? Or that we pick candidates according to “electability” according to pollsters?
Wake up! Perry believes in many of the same things Gov Palin believes in...or at least he says he does. The very same things they hate about Palin.
Not believers in evolution,or global warming,holds Christian family values, perceived as anti gay.
So get real, the Palin haters are going to hate Perry just the same
“Gov Perry can win.”
Maybe. Maybe not. Do you honestly think that the leftmedia won’t do it’s best to demonize Gov. Perry when and if he becomes the gop nominee?
If we’re only going to support candidates that will have a relatively easy go of it from the leftmedia and the gop establishment, then let’s stop fussing with any candidate other than Mitt Romney.
